摘要：

Over the Cenozoic, large cat-like forms have convergently evolved into specialized killers of ‘megaherbivores’ that relied on their lar

摘要：

demography and sociality from an irregular founder population may be an encouragement for the reintroduction of other megaherbivores. The potential for rapid
